VERSE: 2 Kings 7:9–Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news but we are keeping silent; if we wait until morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household.” TRUTH: When we experience great and wonderful things, miracles and blessings from God, are we looking to share them with others? God blesses us so that we can bless others. These lepers realized that they were hoarding the blessing; they were doing wrong. They went and shared with the whole kingdom. Are we sharing the Good News with everyone we come into…

VERSE: 2 Kings 6:17–Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. TRUTH: Do we trust that God is there in the midst of all things? No matter our situation we are to obey God and remember that He has countless angels watching and prepared to do His will also. We are never alone. RESPONSE: Lord, I pray You will help me to see all that You want me to see and to know that I am not…

VERSE: 2 Kings 5:20–But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, thought, “”Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” TRUTH: Greed and self-righteousness drove Gehazi to go and seek payment for something he didn’t even do and shouldn’t take credit for. He didn’t like the fact that this man from the country of their enemies was getting his healing for free; he felt like Naaman should have to pay something. He also so an opportunity to make him pay and pocket the money…

VERSE: 2 Kings 4:14–So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi answered, “Truly she has no son and her husband is old.” TRUTH: This woman had been kind and thoughtful and generous toward Elisha and he wanted to repay her. But, he didn’t know what to do for her. He asked her, but she humbly declined his offers. Finally, Elisha’s servant Gehazi hit upon a need and desire of this woman’s heart. God knows our needs and the desires of our hearts even when we’ve not told anyone else. We can trust God to love us enough to give us what is best for us…

VERSE: 2 Kings 3:16–He said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.'” TRUTH: The three kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom asked Elisha to help them and tell them what the Lord had to say about their plans to battle the Moabites. Elisha gave them the Lord’s answer, “Go dig ditches.” There was probably nothing further from their expectations than that. God often has us to the unexpected that rarely makes sense. Many times this is just one way that He can show that the victory is His and not ours, since in this case, those ditches were the crucial factor that caused these three kings to…

VERSE: 2 Kings 2:13–He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. TRUTH: Elisha had been walking alongside Elijah for some time now. He was learning and following and seeing all that Elijah did and had first-hand experience of Elijah’s relationship with God. However, ultimately, Elisha had to make a decision for himself to pick up and follow the path that God had for him. Have we each made our own decision to follow Christ? RESPONSE: Lord, You provide great leaders and teachers for me, but eventually the decision to follow You is mine. I can’t just…

VERSE: 2 Kings 1:16–Then he said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron–is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word?–therefore you shall not come down from the bed which you have gone up, but shall surely die. TRUTH: Amaziah had received this word from the Lord earlier, but he didn’t want to believe it. Instead of repenting and asking God to forgive him, he just sent more messengers back asking, “Are you sure?” Do we listen to what God says He is going to do? Does it change our actions? When we…

VERSE: 1 Kings 22:7–But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not yet a prophet of the Lord here that we may inquire of him?” TRUTH: Neither king Jehoshaphat nor Ahab followed God, yet Jehoshaphat at least knew the difference between a false prophet and a true prophet of God. However, even then, he didn’t follow the word of the true prophet. Do we listen to the true word of God, yet go ahead and do what we want to do anyway? We may know the difference between the true word of God and the false word, but unless we act on the true word, it makes no difference in our life. RESPONSE:…
